Monday I finally hiked up my big girl panties and canceled my appointment... If they call back Shawn helped me decide what to say: "I want more natural care and I don't want to birth in a hospital, so I chose a provider who would help me accomplish those goals."
I don't know why I am so nerve-wracked about leaving that office. They helped me a lot when I needed surgery for my cyst last year but I'm healthy now, and so is my baby, so I'm just not comfortable with how hard they are pushing me for vaccinations (Flu, TDaP) and stuff.
I don't like how they say "You'll have to get a TDaP at your next appointment..."
I can actually refuse any treatment, but I'd prefer not to mentally and emotionally prepare myself for a fight before each appointment or even before--wouldn't this be fun--the birth.
I get more of a sense of control at the birth center, like they wait for you to let them know what you'd like to do. They let you know of all the options but they are given to you as options.
My next appointment with the Midwife is next Friday and I have to do that glucose test. Yee...
I'll let you know how that goes.
Stumble it!
